Walking sport

Walking sports are a fun and sociable way to become more active at the right level for you. Below are some links that you may find helpful, but walking sports are often organised locally, so keep an eye out in your local area for details of walking sport sessions.

Local events

Park run is an opportunity to exercise with others – and you don’t have to run, you can walk if you want to!

Green Gyms are free outdoor sessions where you can get involved with conservation projects such as planting trees and sowing meadows.

Exercise referral schemes

Exercise referral schemes are designed to help people who need to become more active for health reasons.

If you live in Wales, you can find out more about the Welsh National Exercise Referral Scheme. If you live in England, Northern Ireland or Scotland, ask your GP whether there are exercise referral schemes available in your area.
